Some laws in today’s reading may seem strange to our modern-day ears, like the brother-in-law who is called to marry the widow without sons, for example, but even this was a means of providing for those less fortunate. A widow would have few ways of earning income in that day, and this law kept widows from becoming destitute. Honest measures kept transactions fair, impoverished brothers were not to be left without basic necessities, and crops were loosely harvested so that others might benefit from their neighbor’s generosity.
